🔺 Triangle – Lower-Ability Level

The Triangle worksheet introduces the skill by asking pupils to subtract 10, 20 or 30 from four-digit numbers. These calculations provide an accessible starting point while including examples that require pupils to think carefully about changes across place-value boundaries.

⭕ Circle – Middle-Ability Level

The Circle worksheet increases the range of multiples being subtracted. Pupils begin by subtracting multiples from 30 to 90 before progressing to calculations involving 120 to 190. Most starting numbers are four-digit numbers, with one five-digit example included.

⬜ Square – Higher-Ability Level

The Square worksheet provides sustained practice subtracting multiples from 110 to 190. It includes calculations involving zeros and changes across hundreds and thousands boundaries, offering additional challenge for more confident learners.
